Lost track of the maths yonks ago. Got complete trust in the club to do the right thing on that score tho

If you entered the ballots for the various home games fans could go to - Southampton, Sheffield, Man City - and were unsuccessful in getting tickets each time, how much did you effectively end up paying for your 2020-21 season ticket?

I don't really understand the question. Surely the answer is nothing for everyone, either refunded or credited against next season?

So the answer is nothing, zero pounds? Thanks, I just wanted that confirmed.

Just wondering how pissed off I should be that my MyAlbion+ membership has just gone through for £25, and my daughter's for £15, at the exact same time of year that it went through in 2020; and for that we weren't even given a go in the ballot. Its only £40, right, I'm not screaming for a refund, but I can't say I'm happy that a season ticket holder gets the chance to apply for tickets, and if unsuccessful pays nothing, whereas a member doesn't get the chance to apply for tickets, but is still asked to pay £25 for .... nothing.

I might not live in Brighton but I want to be a member of the club, but we always do seem to be an afterthought for the management.

It's a very valid question but personally if I was you I'd have started a thread about the fact you paid a membership fee for the 20/21 season and got no perceived benefit from it, rather than odd season ticket holder title.

I'd ask the club for a refund if I was you, but I suspect they will highlight other benefits you had from it?

If it’s only just gone through then isn’t it for next season ?

Man City tickets were available to members on the ticket exchange.

Well, I just wasn't sure if there was some kind of retained fee equivalent to my membership fee. Don't want to get all ranty when I don't have all the facts! Got the question answered nice and succinctly. But please edit my thread title if you like. Maybe Mr Barber's minions will come across it

I don't really want to ask for a refund, but I would like to be offered one. That way I would know we were appreciated. I'm a member because I want to be a member of Brighton, and to get a small priority window for games. Thats it really. I would never expect to be in front of STH's for anything, but equally would like to be thought of when unexpected situations occur like this year.

Benefits of membership -

NEW: Bonus points for loyalty for members that renew for consecutive seasons - OK, thats new this year, but doubt it will break any ticket-buying windows
NEW: Free E-programme (worth £48) - STH got this as well I presume
Members’ Gift Pack (worth £15) - pretty sure STH got this as well
Option to be on the season ticket waiting list - N/A - if I wanted one I would have one by now
NEW: Exclusive online member quizzes, Q&A's with players and staff, competitions and offers - Hmmmm
NEW: Birthday e-card for adults - I'll be looking out for it
Priority purchase window for home games** - N/A Season 2020/21. Although apparently and surprisingly it did fall to members for the City game. Who'd have thunk it? Not that I could have gone on a weekday evening.
Priority purchase window for away games** - N/A Season 2020/21
Three club superstore discount days with a minimum of 10% off all stock - Did these happen? But not the best deal for a member living in Cornwall
FREE Access to scheduled open training session - N/A Season 2020/21, and again not really why someone living far from the Amex gets a membership, its not that 'free' if you have to travel 300 miles first.
